All For Blue, in the framework of its cooperation with Garnier, travelled to Aegina on the 9th and 10th April, in order to implement educational seminars on environmental awareness for pre-school and primary school students. During the two days, seminars were held in two kindergartens and four primary schools on the island. Specifically, 19 students from the 1st Kindergarten of Aegina, 40 students from the 2nd Kindergarten of Aegina, 25 students from the 3rd Kindergarten of Agioi Asomatoi, 65 students from the 1st Primary School of Aegina, 60 students from the 2nd Primary School of Aegina and 88 students from the 3rd Primary School of Agioi Asomatoi participated.With enthusiasm and keen interest, the students were informed about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems, circular economy, the reduction of single-use plastics and the need for collective action. After the completion of the seminars, a coastal and underwater clean-up took place at the second beach of Marathonas, with the participation of 138 students from the primary schools and 25 students from the Kindergarten of Agioi Asomatoi, as well as volunteers from All For Blue. In total, 78 kilos of litter were collected from the shore and about 80 from the seabed. Among the items collected that are surprising are a yoga mat, shoes, straw hats, a child’s life jacket, a duvet, a sports bag, a handlebar from a child’s toy, a rusty chain, part of a boat, pipes, a piece of chipboard, a pool hose and more. Also impressive is the fact that All For Blue divers recovered from the seabed a metal cage, pieces of pipe and a welcome mat among other things. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the teachers, students and volunteers who willingly and enthusiastically participated in the coastal cleanup. Our special thanks go to the Deputy Mayor of Education and Sports and Director of the Primary School of Agioi Asomatoi, Mr. Zampelis, for his constant support and valuable assistance in the implementation of this action. We also thank Aegina Portal for covering the action and contributing to the promotion of our work for a cleaner marine environment. Concluding this two-day action, we would like to thank again Garnier for their confidence in our work and our volunteers who were once again there to support our action.
